and then there were two...
A while back I bought some candy eyes at the store. I had planned on using them for April Fool's day for my kids' lunches. I had it all planed out, I was going to place the eyes in their sandwiches and not say a word. Unfortunately the joke was on me because April Fool's Day fell on spring break. I suppose I could have used them anyways but it just didn't seem as fun. I guess there's always next year. That said, I thought some of you might enjoy seeing the eyes in action.
Changing subjects, I'm going to try and get rid of the Captcha to make commenting easier. I stress the word try because I always get tons of spam when I do this. Then I end up turning the feature back on. If you have the time, please let me know in the comments if you prefer no Captcha, thanks :)
*Update Captcha is back on. I had over 30 spam comments within less than 24 hrs :(

Oh, Jessica, I already see you got spammed! I do like the no cap-whatever-thingy, but to tell you the truth, I'm thinking about turning mine on after 5(?) years of not having it, just because SPAM emails are the PITS! Whatever you do, I get it, and I'll still try and comment as often as possible. :0)
The eyes have it! I saw those at my corner grocery store (Vons) and thought about buying them, but never bake. NOW, of course, I will buy them and put them on everything in sight! They turn anything into amigurimi!!!
I hate captcha, but I understand. Have you tried the comment moderation? I don't mind using it - I would rather have more comments than I would get using captcha. It just means going in and deleting a bunch of crap before it is published.
Oh gosh those muffins with eyes are hilarious! That's great!
Yes, I gotta say I hate the Captcha because they are virtually impossible to read lately and I have to reset the thing a few times before I get it right. Awful. That said, I totally understand people using it. I don't use it though, and I don't get much/if any spam. I don't really know why, but in my settings under "Who Can Comment" I've selected "Registered user" and under Comment Moderation I've selected "Sometimes for posts older than 14 days". I don't know if you're up for changing yours but I very rarely get spam with these settings.
These are fabulous...made me chuckle.
I am definitely anti-captcha. I do a ton of blog surfing on my phone, and well, those captcha's make things real difficult. I agree with the comment moderation comments:)
I don't like captcha but what I did was limit commenters to registered users only. I hated to but when I switched it to anyone, I had over 250 spams in about a one hour period. No lie. I do have comment moderation on but that's just ridiculous. I set it to anyone if I have a giveaway but then switch it back after it's over.
I just thought of something. I wish they had a setting where unregistered users had to enter the captcha letters and registered users didn't have to. That would be awesome.
Gale,
That's what I have it set to now, only registered users. It seems to be working well.
Great idea in your second comment!
Eye candy! I love the pun. :D
